EA Halts Work on Tiberium

After working on the FPS shooter follow on to its Command & Conquer series for over a year and a release date that had been pushed back at least once, EA has announced it is stopping work on the Tiberium game project. Originally slated for release for both PCs and consoles in its current fiscal year ending in March, EA subsequently pushed that date into fiscal year 2010. Yesterday that delay turned into a permanent one as the project has been deep-sixed due to quality issues. According to an EA spokesperson "The game was not on track to meet the high quality standards set by the team and by the EA Games Label."
